I know a lot of people here will understand my feelings, i just want to express this…
I didn’t played dota 1, I was introduced to dota 2 a year ago since the game was in top rank of players on steam, well I decided to view a video, I liked it. Then, the nightmare started, they yelled on me, they called me a noob, they insulted, reported, I was in low priority a lot of times but guessI know a lot of people here will understand my feelings, i just want to express this…
I didn’t played dota 1, I was introduced to dota 2 a year ago since the game was in top rank of players on steam, well I decided to view a video, I liked it. Then, the nightmare started, they yelled on me, they called me a noob, they insulted, reported, I was in low priority a lot of times but guess whatwhat, I didn’t cry like some of the losers I saw here, I knew I was a noob, sometimes I attacked heros being attacked by creeps at the same time early game (and that caused death), teammated said to me “stay close to towers and you will be fine” I watched playes that owned others and screenshoted their builds to try to understand how it’s done, and I deserve it I felt bad because it was a hard game but when I saw the international that confirmed my desire, I wanted to LEARN that freaking hard and amazing game, the fact that I saw a giant roster of heros, a lot of ways to build a hero, a lot of combinations, wow!, I knew I wasn’t playing a little thing. THAT motivated me to improve.
Because I have internet, instead (and not knowing at all) I decided to READ heros descriptions and LEARN I watched videos, viewed builds/guides (if you played a MMORPG you know what Im talking) is not a big thing, just a little learning, then, something magic happened, I started to improve, I started to buy courier and the team won, and I FEEL GOOD.
For the first time in a single game I felt I learnt a very hard thing, to communicate English properly, to teamfight, to PLACE WARDS, but most of all to LEARN.
A lot of months have passed since the greeviling, and I felt a high income of new players, that was good, new people playing, its ok if you have a nice tutorial, not everybody can have the same passion about hard video games like me to search and learn, so most of the people will get bored and abandon the game before extracting its potential to be super fun, matchmaking take a lot of minutes, sometimes you could had waited like 20 minutes for a single match? Like if you wanted to play a match, you can play one on your mind while you wait. That’s ok, I thought there isn’t a lot of players with my number of wins/skill level (at that point I knew game basics, ward, courier, but not deward, dust/sentry when necessary yet) that allowed me to play something tolerable. The nightmare of being yelled cause was my fault (actually it was) that team lose, but another worse nightmare started now…
Actually the matchmaking system will make you hate this game, not even be able to want to learn, finding a match takes a lot less, but I get matchmaked with people that doesn’t have 50 wins (and I have around 900) if Valve wanted cooperative learning Valve failed (until now) because we have a bad tutorial, we actually have like 5 stages of tutorial (yea, long and tedious) but still don’t talk about the philosophy of the game! I still don’t see to tell the new people that if you pick a support and you don’t buy wards/courier you will increase to lose since minute 00:00, same for wards, same for sentry/dust. So playing with these people is like talking in another language, they pick venomancer/lina cause are cute and they got bored of play a drow/ursa and you tell them to buy courier, they say “buy it yourself, you are mid, you buy, I don’t have money” then you get muted for being a noob and know how to play the game and telling them that we will lose if you don’t buy anything for the team, only 1 newbie with no desire to learn in team and you are enjoy 30-45 minute sitting back in your sit and get confortable, because that will be a looooong ride to sure lose and wasting your time, why team game if tutorial don’t tell you that you are a mere piece of a cog and not the superman or a nice frager that will save the team being a support and say at the end of the game.
"Omfg I’m 19-15-3 report the noobs, they didn’t killed a single anon Lina around 80 wins, 2013 (ofc no ward/courier, and taking mid).
If you never played MOBA’s or don’t have a real interest to LEARN the game just don’t play it, you will end hating the game at the first week, you need to wait until they fix the matchmaking system and above all, a GOOD and not tedious, long tutorial that encourages people to LEARN, not giving all the food in a dish to their mouths like a freaking baby, I know most of us americlaps, want a easy game, and start fragging right away and feel like a pro at the first week, people, this aint team fortress 2 or counter strike, is a hard ass game and you will suck at start no matter what, you gamer powers that no one cares but you will fail here at start, but the only thing that will not fail is a desire to LEARN with that Valve, with that, you will achieve a masterpiece, until that, this game is in pub matchmaking, just fun when u play with friends (full party or at least 3) for now, is only a troll matchmaking and tutorial.… Expand
